What is
Kyphoplasty?
Kyphoplasty is used to treat painful compression fractures
where all or part of a spine bone collapses. Kyphoplasty is an elective surgery
which is specifically designed to treat the patients who are suffering from
painful vertebral compression fractures. The surgery is performed with the goal
to:-
· Reduce or eliminate the back pain of the patient.
· Prevent further collapse of the fracture.
· Restore normal spinal alignment.
· Improving the patient's posture.
· Reduce or eliminate the back pain of the patient.
· Prevent further collapse of the fracture.

Surgical
procedure of Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty Surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
While performing this surgery the surgeon makes a small incision in the back
and places a narrow tube through the incision. Using fluoroscopy to guide it to
the correct position, the tube creates a path through the back into the
fractured area through the pedicle of the involved vertebrae. The surgeons
insert a special balloon through the tube and into the vertebrae and carefully
inflates the balloon using X-ray images. As the balloon inflates, it elevates
the fracture, returning the pieces to a more normal position. It also compacts
the soft inner bone to create a cavity inside the vertebrae. The surgeon then
removes the balloon and uses specially designed instruments under low pressure
to fill the cavity with a cement-like material called polymethylmethacry late.
Patients can return to their normal daily activities within few days. The
surgeons advice the patients to avoid, strenuous exertion and heavy lifting for
at least six weeks.
